i am not a predictor of the market, neither do i have any crystal ball. but the last post accuracy has been immediately proved in the market on Tuesday December 4th 2018. wow, what fall!

IBD narrates – “At one point in the session, a 2.78% yield on the five-year note dropped under a 2.80% yield on the shorter two-year note. In other words, it made less sense for investors to hold the longer-dated bond for a specific return.”

usually the 10 year is compared with 2 year curve. But this is telling. Market need something to sell.

IBD continues – This was supposed to be a banner week for the Dow Jones industrial average and the broader stock market. President Donald Trump called off his escalation of China tariffs days after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell traded his hawkish talons for a Santa rally cap. But financial markets just aren’t buying the good cheer.

so i will either short or stay out of the market

preserve our capital and profits at all cost! Market is in correction.

according to IBD – “The Nasdaq composite ended with a gain of 1.5%. But the blemish to the gain was that the index met with some selling pressure as it approached the 7500 level. The index’s 200-day moving average currently sits around 7520. The Nasdaq closed in the upper half of Monday’s range, but it ended just below the 50-day moving average.”

The On Balance Volume (OBV) on QLD is not convincing – it is just above the levels on Nov 9th 2018 which is 59.337 Million as opposed to yesterday which was 59.786 million. no divergence (this divergence was exactly seen on Nov 7th 2018 at 62.335 million which was much below at similar QLD price levels on 10/22 when then OBV was 67.719 million)

then the market fell from 7500 Levels on Nov 7th to 6900 levels on Nov 20th – a drop off 600 points because of volume pumping up the price was not intense. OBV would indicate that very clearly.

according to IBD – “The Dow Jones and S&P 500 each added 1.1%, closing bullishly above their 50-day moving averages. Preliminary data showed volume on the NYSE coming in about 10% lower than Friday’s total. Nasdaq turnover was close to Friday’s.”

A follow through day is a gain in major indexes for 1.25 % or more in high volume. The market did just that today.Â

IBD says this

The midterm election results and a 2.6% gain for the Nasdaq composite delivered a nice present for stock market bulls Wednesday. The Nasdaq 100 did even better, up 3.1%, helped by strong moves fromÂ FANG stocksAmazon.com(AMZN), up nearly 7%, and Netflix(NFLX), up 5%.

The Nasdaq composite followed through on the seventh day of its rally attempt as several top-rated growth stocks made explosive moves in the stock market today. The S&P 500 also followed through with conviction, and the Dow Jones industrial average surged also, both with gains of 2.1%.

lets look at if other stocks in S&P 500 are participating in the action yesterday .

Look at the chart below – 13 % increase in the number of S&P 500 stocks above their 50 days SMA!!

i have gotten into the market from all cash position yesterday.

Red flag Research shows that a distribution day in any of the first three sessions after a follow-through day can foretell a failed rally. A distribution day that comes later is easier for a rally to overcome. THE RISK DROPS OFF SHARPLY from the 6th day or so

Red flag 2 : top rated stocks action :: in early stages of new uptrend strong action of leading stocks is CRUCIAL. Top rated stocks should be breaking out of bases in big volume.

A confirmed uptrend can weather an occasional sell-off every week or two and still show the fight to keep rising.

It will not escape your attention that it is going down since 9/04/2018, a month before the actual crash!! and it drops down the 55 day SMA on 9/26 and stays down there and goes down for 10 days before the general market crash!!
